English courses will include Reading/Writing II, Composition I and II, and Creative Writing I.Math and science courses include: Introduction to Algebra, Calculus I and Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II.

“Since our area high schools are closed for the week, it’s a great time for local students who are considering Atlantic Cape to come in and experience our offerings and meet our outstanding faculty,” said Dr. Patricia Gentile, Dean of the Cape May County Campus. “We also welcome adult learners who want to take our classes for a “test drive” to see if they would like to come back to college or just take a class for personal interest.”

Admissions representatives will be on hand to answer questions and visitors can take a tour of the CMCC building during the event.

Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a seat in a class, participants are asked to visit www.atlantic.edu and click on the “Test Drive” box or to call (609) 343-4907.
